If you are East of the basin:

Try a few cans of stewed tomatoes
Frozen corndogs will add that spice that you are accustomed too

You’re welcome

Even that would be a challenge for them. Imagine if they try using a charcoal BBQ pit.

Add some chackbay. I use Slap Ya Mama powder, Zats liquid, and chackbay.

For a 100 qt pot.

5 lbs Slap Ya Mama dry seasoning
15 oz chackbay
16 oz liquid crab boil.

Scale to however big your pot is.

I swear to Monte Cristo... I will never understand why people are so slavish to regional cuisine recipes. Every prepared dish is born out of experimentation. I have been eating food for over 5 decades and I doubt a year goes by that I don't eat what is my new favorite version of a staple I have eaten all my life.

The answer is celery seed like others have mentioned.

You can keep your recipe the same and add a lot yourself, or you can buy a mix that already has that flavor.

Pro boil and swamp fire both have that flavor as do others.

Sucks imo as does liquid boil. I use Louisiana seasoning, add lemons and it's perfect every time.

Get off of Zats powder, it has very little flavor other than salt. Add any or some combination of the following:
Clove
Peppercorns
Celery Seed
Coriander
White Pepper
Mustard Seed or Ground Mustard
Chinese Red Pepper
Lemon Oil
Orange Oil
Bay Leaf

If you want to add umami, quit frickin around with all these extras and just add a small canister of Accent (msg) to your pot when you add the rest of the seasonings. That'll get you the umami you're looking for.
